This is a Cover Sheet to the State’s Owner and Contractor Standard Construction Contract, known as the MICHSPEC Division 0

Specifications. The MICHSPEC Division 0 Specifications have been developed from the FORMSPEC Michigan Model, 1997 Edition. Although the State’s 2008 Version of the Division 0 Specifications are written as simply as practical, it is nonetheless advisable to consult with companion Guide to Specifiers when preparing specifications for a specific project. These Division 0 Specifications were developed by incorporating provisions and requirements furnished by the State into the FORMSPEC Michigan Model. These Division 0 Specifications have undergone detailed technical reviews by Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State Facilities Administration representatives and detailed legal reviews by the Department of the Attorney General for the State of Michigan. Specifiers are encouraged to consult with a Division 0 specifications specialist or an attorney knowledgeable in public contracts when preparing specifications for a specific project.
